Hi
i know when vcenter server goes down the below features wont work but s there is some discussion going on there or other alternate ways to move or migrate a live virtual machine from one ESXI to another ESXI host when vcenter server goes down.
Below listed wont work when Vcenter server goes down .
1.VM's will Work,
2. vMotion Will not work
3. DRS will not work
4.FT will continue to work for the configured VMs. However in case of a failover, no new Secondary will be created
5.You will not be able to Deploy vm from templates
6. You cannot clone the VM
7. You can take a snapshot of VM by connecting to the Host using vSphere Client
8. HA will continue to work, you will not be able to change the configuration
9. dvSwith Continues to work ,you will not be able to change the configuration
10. vSwitch continuous to work, You can even make changes to vSwitch.
Please let me know if is there any other alternate way . i hope there is no other alternate way while vcenter goes down we cant move live virtual machines from one ESXI host to another ESXI host
